Objective. To explore the application effect of meticulous nursing on community elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) under the background of medical treatment partnerships. Methods. A total of 96 elderly CHD patients treated in the community from July 2019 to July 2020 were selected as the research objects and divided into the experimental group (n = 48) and control group (n = 48) by the medical personnel according to their admission order. Clinical routine nursing was performed to the patients in the control group, and meticulous nursing under the background of medical treatment partnerships was conducted to the patients in the experimental group, so as to evaluate their quality of life (QOL) and self-care agency after intervention by the Chinese Questionnaire on Quality of Life in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease (CQQC) and Exercise of Self-Care Agency (ESCA) scale. Results. Compared with the control group after intervention, the patients in the experimental group presented significantly higher ESCA scores, HHI scores, and CQQC scores and longer 6 min walking distance ( P < 0.001 ) and remarkably lower POMS scores ( P < 0.001 ) and had obviously higher numbers of cases with various health-related actions ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Meticulous nursing under the background of medical treatment partnerships is a reliable method for improving the QOL and mood state of community elderly CHD patients, which greatly promotes patients’ self-care agency and expectation. Further research will be conducive to establishing a better solution for patients.

This study aims to determine the effect of counseling on quality of life and self-care agency for patients who are scheduled for total knee replacement (TKR). The study has a quantitative and quasi-experimental design with a control group. The patients in the control group ( n = 40) received routine care. Face-to-face and telephone counseling was offered to individuals in the intervention group ( n = 39). The data was collected at face-to-face interviews by using a patient characteristics form, Quality of Life Scale, and Self-Care Agency Scale. The scores for quality of life and self-care agency in the 6th to 8th and 14th to 16th weeks after surgery were very significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group ( p < .001). This study shows that counseling given by the nurse increases the quality of life and self-care agency of patients undergoing TKR.

ABSTRACTBackgroundIn the hand, the Systemic Sclerosis (SS) is characteristically evidenced by Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) and fibrosis of the skin, tendons, ligaments, and joints as well as digital ulcers with prolonged healing. Current medical treatment not always cure these complications. Local adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (ADSVF) administration into the hands has been proposed as an emerging treatment for these complications, due to its proangiogenic, antifibrotic, and immunoregulatory activities. The objective of this controlled trial was to evaluate the safety and clinical effects of fat micrografts plus ADSVF administration into the hands of patients with SS.MethodsThis was an open-label, monocentric, randomized controlled study. Twenty patients diagnosed with SS were enrolled and assigned to the experimental or control group. Fat micrografts plus the ADSVF were injected into the right hand of experimental group patients. The control group continued to receive only medical treatment. Demographic, serologic data and disease severity were recorded. Digital oximetry, pain, Raynaud phenomenon (RP), digital ulcer healing (DUH), mobility, thumb opposition, vascular density of the nail bed, skin affection of the hand, Serologic antibodies, hand function, and quality of life scores were evaluated in both groups. The mean follow-up period was 168 days.The differences between before and after the intervention were analyzed with the Wilcoxon range test, and the differences between the control and experimental groups at 0 days and 168 days were analyzed with the Mann–Whitney U test.ResultsAdverse events were not observed in both groups. There were no changes in disease severity, serologic antibodies, nailfold capillaroscopy patterns, mobility, and hand function in both groups. There were significant improvements in pain, DUH and quality of life scores in the experimental group. RP improved significantly in both groups. However, on statistically comparing the results at 168 days between the groups, significant improvements were only observed in pain levels (p = 0.02) and DUH (p=0.003).ConclusionsThe injection of ADSVF plus fat micrografts is a reproducible, and safe technique. Pain and digital ulcers in the hands of patients with SS can be treated with this treatment.Trial RegistrationRetrospectively registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with identifier NCT04387825

Цель исследования заключается в повышении качества прогнозирования ишемической болезни сердца путем учета синергетического эффекта наличия сопутствующих заболеваний и факторов профессиональной среды посредством многоагентных интеллектуальных систем. Методы исследования. Для прогнозирования ишемической болезни сердца предложена базовая структура многоагентной интеллектуальной системы, содержащая «сильные» и «слабые» классификаторы. При этом «слабые» классификаторы разделены на четыре группы, первая из которых осуществляет анализ данных, полученных на основе традиционных факторов риска ишемической болезни сердца, вторая - на основе анализа электрокардиологических исследований, третья группа «слабых» классификаторов предназначена для диагностики сопутствующих заболеваний и синдромов по предикторам, используемых первыми двумя группами агентов, а четвертая - анализирует факторы риска окружающей среды. Мультиагентная система позволяет управлять процессом принятия решений посредством сочетания экспертных оценок, статистических данных и текущей информации. Результаты. Проведены экспериментальные исследования различных модификаций предложенной модели классификатора, заключающихся в последовательном исключении из агрегатора решений «слабых» классификаторов на различных иерархических уровнях. В ходе экспериментального оценивания и в результате математического моделирования было показано, что при использовании всех информативных признаков уверенность в правильном прогнозе по риску ишемической болезни сердца превышает величину 0,8. Показатели качества прогнозирования выше, чем у известной системы прогнозирования ишемической болезни сердца - превышает SCORE, в среднем, на 14%. Выводы. Анализ показателей качества классификации в экспериментальной группе обследуемых с различным показателем ишемического риска и в контрольной группе, составленной из машинистов электролокомотивов, для которых релевантными показателями ишемических рисков являются вибрационная болезнь и пребывание в электромагнитных полях, показал, что учет влияния этих факторов риска в контрольной группе повышает диагностическую эффективность на семь процентов по сравнению с экспериментальной группой, выступающей как фоновая The aim of the study is to improve the quality of predicting coronary heart disease by taking into account the synergistic effect of the presence of concomitant diseases and occupational factors through multi-agent intelligent systems. Research methods. To predict coronary heart disease, a basic structure of a multi-agent intelligent system is proposed, which contains “strong” and “weak” classifiers. At the same time, the "weak" classifiers are divided into four groups, the first of which analyzes data obtained on the basis of traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease, the second - based on the analysis of electrocardiological studies, the third group of "weak" classifiers is intended for the diagnosis of concomitant diseases and syndromes based on predictors used by the first two groups of agents, and the fourth analyzes environmental risk factors. The mobile system allows you to manage the decision-making process through a combination of expert assessments, statistical data and current information. Results. Experimental studies of various modifications of the proposed model of the classifier, consisting in the sequential exclusion from the aggregator of decisions of "weak" classifiers at various hierarchical levels, have been carried out. In the course of experimental evaluation and as a result of mathematical modeling, it was shown that when using all informative signs, the confidence in the correct forecast for the risk of coronary heart disease exceeds 0.8. The indicators of the quality of prediction are higher than those of the known predictive system for coronary heart disease - they exceed SCORE, on average, by 14%. Conclusions. Analysis of the classification quality indicators in the experimental group of subjects with different ischemic risk indicators and in the control group made up of electric locomotive drivers, for whom vibration sickness and exposure to electromagnetic fields are relevant indicators of ischemic risks, showed that taking into account the influence of these risk factors in the control group increases diagnostic efficiency by seven percent compared with the experimental group serving as background

Background: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has a high recurrence in Indonesia. This condition may occur as a result of the failure of compliance with post-acute management following a heart attack by CHD patients. One of the causes is the lack of effective health education.Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the feasibility of the workbook in improving patients’ self-efficacy (SE) and quality of life (QoL).Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control design. A pretest was done to the patients who were treated in the cardiac intensive unit, and a posttest was carried out at the end of the first and second month after the pretest. The population was all post-acute CHD patients who were admitted to the cardiac intensive unit in one of the referral hospitals in West Java, Indonesia. A purposive sampling was used and obtained 39 respondents who were divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group was given a health education using a workbook, and the control group was given a direct health education. Self-efficacy was measured using a questionnaire developed by the authors, with high validity and reliability. A SF-12 instrument was used for measuring the quality of life.  Data were analyzed using a descriptive quantitative analysis such as mean, Mann Whitney test, and Independent t-test. To estimate the effects of the intervention to QoL and SE, Kruskal Wallis test and One-way ANOVA were used.Results: The results showed that there was an increase in SE and QoL in both groups, either in the posttest 1 or posttest 2. The comparison of QoL in the pretest, posttest I and II obtained p=.452, .741, and .826, while SE between and within groups obtained p = .732, .220, and .009, respectively.Conclusions: Health education using the workbook was significantly more effective to increase SE than QoL of the CHD patients.
